Chapter 470: Seb’s Nemesis

Sab’s jaw clenched as he saw the woman standing in front of him. She looked older now, the innocence on her face gone and yet, she was as coldly beautiful as ever. The large sunglasses covered her eyes and half her face but even through it, he could feel her gaze on him.

Just when he was about to ignore her existence and turn around, she called out his name," "Sebastian Frost. Is that you? What a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?"

His eyebrow raised in sarcasm as he shrugged," I came here for a stroll. I was craving some anitseptic smelling air. Now, if you’ll excuse me."

As he walked past Vivienne, he breathed a sigh of relief, but it was shortlived as Vivienne called out," How is your woman doing?", her voice cutting through the silence.

Sebastian’s steps faltered for a moment, his mind racing as he struggled to process her question. "My... woman?" he repeated, the word feeling foreign on his tongue.

Sebastian’s mind raced as worried thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to grasp the implications of Vivienne’s question. Did she already know about Olivia? Had she found out the truth? About their marriage? And their babies? The possibility sent a chill down his spine.

He forced himself to maintain his composure as he turned to face Vivienne, his expression guarded. "What do you mean, Vivienne?"

A sly smile curved her lips as she looked at his face, "Oh my. I never thought that you would really fall for her. Look at how worried you are, guarded, as if I would your precious Emma." She laughed condescendingly and turned around," I cannot believe that you passed the test. The accident was so worth it."

Because her back was already turned, she missed the look of shock that passed for a moment over his face. And then two quick realizations- first that she thought Emma was his woman and secondly she was the one responsible for her accident. Just as he had suspected!

"I don’t know what game you’re playing, Vivienne, or why you have sought me out," Sebastian said, his tone low and measured. "But whatever it is, stay away from Emma. She has nothing to do with you."

"Relax. I won’t be touching her anymore I just needed to make sure that you really were involved with this woman, see with my own eyes if you would come for her. And now I know. She had a small accident and here you are, waiting for her to wake up while avoiding the paparazzi. Your assistant is already investigating diligently. You really do care for her. Kudos to you. Are you in love with her?"

The fact that she could be so casual about hurting someone innocent and then talk about it casually was enough to make his blood boil. The audacity of her actions left him reeling and reminding him to tread carefully. Until they had unravelled the past, the present and future would be murky.

While he was lost in thought, she continued to question him,"So, when are you marrying her? Have the rings been made?"

Seb felt his heart thundering. She really had been keeping an eye on him. She somehow knew he had ordered a pair of rings. And now that she’d heard these rumors about him and Emma, she had returned and created a ruckus. But the question remained the same why...

"Why are you doing this?" He asked slowly."Look whatever happened between us is in the past. Why are you back."

"What happened between us? Nothing happened between you and me Sebastian Frost! You really have a high opinion of yourself. Do you really think that I was attracted to you all those years ago and that is why I tried to seduce you? It was because of Olivia that I tried to sleep with you!"

"Because of Olivia? You wanted to sleep with me because of your half sister?" Seb asked carefully.

"Of course. I always knew that you would break her heart! I’d seen yuo flirting with all the girls whenever you came to pick her up from school. I’d always known that you would not be faithful to her! I just wanted to prove it to her! And I was proven right repeatedly, wasn’t I? The moment she went away, you fell into bed with the many available women..."

Seb opened his mouth to question her but she countinued," I went to her when that happened. I showed her pictures of you with the other women, you know. And even then, she had the gall to tell me that it didn’t matter who you slept with! That you would only love her all your life and only marry her."

"And so I’ve waited patiently. Waited for you to marry someone else so that I can prove to her about how foolish she was in rejecting what her sister offered her in liu of waiting for a man like you..I am really happy for you, Sebastian Frost. I hope you live a long and happy married life with your Emma."

This time, Seb said nothing. Unknowingly, Vivienne had revealed information about things that he was unaware of, adding to his confusion. This time it would be best to feign confusion and clarify things with Olivia. Taking a deep breath, he clenched out the words," Leave Vivienne."

"Don’t be angry, Sebastian. I will leave for now. But I will leave the country only after witnessing your wedding to Emma. And I will take my sister with me. Finally, the pedestal that she has placed you in, will be gone. That is why she left the country, did she not? Because you chose to marry your girlfriend. My sister has already wasted a lot of time on you. She doesn’t need to anymore."

With a triumphant smile lingering on her lips, Vivienne turned and walked away, leaving Sebastian standing there with troubled thoughts. He thought he had a clear idea of what happened in the past. But it seemed things were murkier than he thought... What else was he missing out... Only one person could provide him with the key- Olivia... It was time to open the pandora’s box.
